I want to know what has happened to the concept of originality of architectural work in digital reproductions, has it disappeared or is it evolving with a new concept?

The digital registry can join so many tools that enhance the process of conservation of architectural works. But the reproduction is another theme. Some cultures, like japanese, use to change some elements by the time pass; what’s the difference: the mantaine the traditional procedures. That’s important. Digital reproduction help in studies and interpretations. How ever when it is used without care could be dangerous to the integrity
Modern technology allows you to make a scan of any architectural work and reproduce it in another place. The Abu Simbel Temple was moved to another location. During the reconstruction of cities, many houses were moved. This preserved the material shell of the buildings (sculpture), but the architectural properties of the object changed (urban planning situation, landscape, communications, etc.). Although the methods of creating artifacts are universal, their identity has different meanings in each field of cultural activity.
